I ordered a special pack of ten cigars that came with a gift card. That particular packaging doesn't appear to be available any longer which is why I'm not a "verified buyer". This is a great, great cigar. Woody and full of aroma, great white smoke and solid ash. I had a couple that "canoed" during the burn and one so far that came apart but the rest have had good construction and good burns. The torpedo style is annoying for me, making me have to chomp on it to keep it in my mouth which makes it wet. It's still a joy to smoke. My next order will be other than the torpedo.

Very much enjoyed and for a small cigar I would have given 5 stars however, 1 or 2 cigars in each tin were rolled too tight and would not draw even with running a wire through. Otherwise a great smoke.

I bought a single Churchill in a Tube of Romeo y Julieta 1875 a few weeks ago and saved it to enjoy for my 50th birthday because it was such a beautiful cigar. I'd bought it because I'd gotten a box of Romeo y Julieta's Tubos #3 Cuban cigars while on a cruise in the Grand Cayman Islands (Still saving most of those!) and I was impressed by them so I wanted to give their 1875 Churchill a try as I prefer a bigger cigar. Boy was it worth it! Smooth and even burning, not harsh at all! Just a perfect cigar. And the tube makes a perfect travel humidor! I got a feeling I will be buying a box of these really soon!

I was looking for something a little more robust than a decent cigarillo when I'm outside in the fall doing yard work. These R&Js are decent little smoke, well rounded, good pull and burn. Value for the dollar

I bought a brick of 30 and one of the tins of 6 were so tightly rolled they were almost unsmokable. They must put the beginners on these before graduating them to the larger corona's :-). With that said, i've had the same issue with Cohiba Red Dot Pequenos. Overall these 1875's have good taste and when rolled correctly they're an awesome value.

Bought a box and the first 3 disintegrated as I smoked them purchased on line but elected to return the to the Nazareth store personnel were very helpful. Exchange the Bully's and had 2 or 3 dry ones as ll but things have settled down however R & J will not longer be my go to cigar.

I'm not a fan of small cigars, but I do love the R&J 1875, so with the weather getting colder last year I tried these for a quick smoke. I was pleasantly surprised! Flavor was good, and the burn was amazingly slow for a cigar of that size. I usually get 25-30 minutes from one of these.

Love cigar international. Glad you guys ship. Always great quality and always great customer service. Love going to your store when I visit family in PA. It's like Disney for a cigar smoker. Keep up the great work. An Happy Forth of July

RYJ 1875 is my primary cigar. My favorite is the double corona size. it's always consistent in burn and taste. I also like the little cigars that come 6 in a tin. the only challenge with those is 60 - 70% of the cigars are rolled so tight you cannot draw. Other than that RYJ all the way!

Normally get the 3 pack loc seal 1875 but you were out of them.
Several cigars in one of the 5 packs I got had white spots throughout the surface.
In general, the cigars did not seem fresh. Will not reorder. Will stay with the 1875 3 pack (loc seal).

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Churchill... This has always been my go to cigar, I have been smoking R&J's for nearly 40 years, my humidor has always had and will always have these beauties in it. I love the flavor profile and the spice of the wrapper. This is the ideal cigar for the first timer and even the "aficionados".
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The wrapper cracked on 2 out of the 5 of these, I was very disappointed. The other 3 were fine and were what I expected. This is the first time I had an unsatisfactory experience so hopefully this was a fluke.

I've smoked these sticks (when I can get them on sale) for fifteen years. They are one of a very few cigars that I really look forward to. Always a great smooth, perfectly rolled smoke. My only problem with these great cigars is that their price puts them out of reach for an everyday smoke. So I put them on my birthday and Christmas lists and watch for sales.

The Belicoso use to be one of my favorite cigars until they started splitting, burning crooked etc. Ilet them sit for awhile in the Humi, same thing. Did not order any for awhile then ordered a box of Bullys after my buddy said they were ok. Bad idea they were terrible, then he told me he was having the same thing happen to him. Not buying anymore R&J 1875. I don't know what has happened to these cigars. Has anybody else had this happen? I am on my 3rd box of AJ Hernandez New World they are great cigars along with his Fallen Angel.

I usually smoke a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur in Churchill size. Thought I'd try the Romeo y Julieta for a change. First impression is that they are bigger and stronger than the Hoyos. Good cigar but I think I'll stick with the Hoyo.

I actually bought the Clemenceau 3-pack with golf balls and tees but decided to review the sticks here in case that special package expires. These were really nice smokes. Flavor, construction, and burn were all exceptional. I'm saving one, unable to imagine smoking the last one...

Two orders from CI, close to $200 each. First: 1/3 to 1/2 of order very dry, wrappers split early; humidor helping after 3 wks. Second order was wrong box, awaiting replacement, and have to go to UPS to mail wrong order back.
On the up side, CI is cheaper than most. Guess you get what you pay for...
Clemenceaus: mild to medium smoke, great taste. 3 out of 10, wrapper split, but they arrived pretty dry. 2/10 were packed poorly, bad draw until the hard part was ash. Tasty though.

I enjoy a fire out back with the guys and with a glass of scotch and the Romeo y Julleta 1875 cigars it doesn't get any better. They are always smooth, full flavor, and the next morning; never a foul taste in my mouth!

I just ordered two more tins. Really nice 30-min smoke. Great at lunch. Flavor and smoke are good. Very consistent. I like the Boveda pack - I can leave the tin in my backpack. Small but real cigars, with RJ flavor and quality.

I am unable to get my hands on the Nica Libre Contras (much sadness). However the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Petit Bully has filled that niche quite nicely. A good little stick when you don’t have the time for a full size lunker

My husband has actively tried to find a favorite cigar since I met him 8 yrs ago. I bought many, many samplers over the years from CI and he finally found it: RyJ 1875.
The flavor, the draw, it has body but still a hint of sweetness...a great every day cigar

These Romeo y Julieta Churchills are absolutely the smoothest smoking cigars in the world, in my humble opinion. And ordering them through Cigars International is absolutely the best way in the world to get them! No fooling! CI has the best prices and the fastest service any cigar-loving guy (or gal) could ever hope for.

I have been smoking and enjoying cigars for twenty some years, I've smoked to many brands and to many types to count in search of a Trademark Cigar. In the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Churchill I have found it. Simply the best cigar I have ever smoked. To me it has an earthy flavor (very pleasant), not to strong, not to mild, a great anytime cigar. This is the cigar that will be my Trademark. Never will you find me without one on me. to twist a famous quote, a woman is only a woman, but a Romeo y Julieta 1875 Cigar is a Smoke. Simply the best. Thank you, and thank you Cigar International for selling them. From a loyal customer.

High quality tobacco with poor quality construction. Perhaps the Boveda packs in the tins kept the cigarillos too damp...but, even after dry-boxing, the cigars refuse to draw properly. A real disappointment.

The Romeos are tasty short smokes, nice for a quicker smoke. The down side is that being machine made they sometimes have plugs or tight spots that block the draw. This is remedied easily enough with a straightened paperclip but still a hassle. Worth the money though.

Bought fthese for a friends birthday that happened to mention that brand as a pretty good cigar. He offered me one to smoke on his special day, I was impressed with the flavor and he said they were as good as he remembered. These are in my cart for my next order. For the price a top notch smoke , you won't be disappointed.

I had smoked these a few time before and enjoyed them, so I ordered a few bricks of the petit bully's for my wedding reception guests to keep in a humidor at the bar, and they were a huge success. Now a few months later I am still being asked what cigar that was, and where I can get them. I also always keep a few tins worth of these in the petit bully size in my humidor for a short smoke. One of my favorite cigars.

Great cigar. Has great aromas and taste which get better as you smoke it. I take this sucker down to the nub lol. Sweet vanilla and chocolate notes towards the middle to end. Draw is perfect. Construction is good as well. One of my favorites.

Romeo y Julieta 1875 series is my brand for a daily smoke. I find these are consistently smooth and evenly smoke cigars. The perfect cigar to have with an evening drink and conversation with Family and Friends.

Romeo y Julieta 1875 series is my brand for a daily smoke. I find these are consistently smooth and evenly smoke cigars. The perfect cigar to have with an evening drink and conversation with Family and Friends.

Overall a really nice cigar. Perfect for wanting a great smoke when you don't have a lot of time. The only complaint is the inconsistency in the rolling. At least one in ten are rolled so tight that they are difficult to smoke.

I got this cigar via Make me an Offer. It is a good cigar, but it just isn't for me. Didn't get any worthwhile flavor out of it and am willing to dare say I can find a more suitable stick for the same price range. Props on options though Romeo y Julieta, I may consider trying some other ones. Well constructed, just not for me.

I really liked this cigar. This is my 'daily smoker' right now and while being a great little stick it is getting a little vanilla day in and day out; just not as complex as I'd like it to be. I'm craving a medium-bodied cigar that has a little more oomph (as well as distinct differences between the 'thirds) and the Bullys just don't seem to change unless u smoke to your fingers where it picks up some spice but that could just be the heat as well. All in all this is a GREAT standby and you know EXACTLY what you're gonna get. Sometimes that's a good thing, other times not so much.
These cigars arrived about 1-2 days early, always a plus, and we're very fresh. Th reason why I'm only giving them to not 3 stars is that one of the sticks has a small slice/slit the n the top part. I'm not sure if it's just the wrapper or if it goes thru the binder as well. Hopefully it's the former as I would probly end up not being able to smoke the first third.
All in all its a great, well-rounded cigar. Would definitely recommend. Especially for beginners as its mild and a tried and true favorite.

I've never been a fan of small cigars, but I love the R&J Bully and decided to take a gamble on these. With cold weather and shorter days coming on, I thought a "short smoke" would make sense. I was amazed! These have all the flavor of the full size, and they burn for over a half hour. My only reservation is that they are a very tight draw.

This was a gift to a person who loves cigars and was in charge of our golf league. He was stepping down after 12 years. I knew he loved Romeos so this was a fitting gift, along with a doze ProV1 golf
balls. What could be better than golf and a good cigar.

I had high hope for these sticks. They burn well and seem to be well constructed, however there was an unpleasant, sharpness or harshness late in the draw that I couldn't get past. This ruined the experience for me.

This is a smooth mild cigar that is perfect for all occasions. Anytime I introduce someone to cigars, this is the first thing that I put in their hand. CI did a great job with the packing and they were in excellent shape when they arrived (no damage and not dry).

Great tasting cigar. Medium body with little or no aftertaste. I really like this cigar as my one daytime burn. Occasionaly will get a wrapper that explodes but this is probably my fault with poor humidification.

I buy these for my wife and she luvs R J smokes. Latest purchase was the R J mega sampler (she likes the 40-44 ring) and she commented "these are my new favorite, better than Mac" What more can be said. Good draw, tasty and can smoke till your fingers get burnted without bad taste.

Ive shopped at CI for years. Their cigars are always fresh. Ordering is easy and delivery is prompt. Their enormous inventory can fill any request from one to a dozen. There is nothing not to like about CI.

The Romeo y Julieta Bully Belicoso is a must-have for my humidor! It’s truly a staple. Everything about this cigar is excellent; however, I might classify it more as a light-medium bodied cigar versus a true medium bodied.

The RyJ 1875 blend is an affordable medium-bodied smoke that never disappoints. It starts out smooth and the flavor becomes more complex and rich as it burns, but never over-bearing. Always a favorite of mine for a evening sit on the porch with a good beverage.

I've smoked nearly 40 of the 5x50 Bully's and found them to be remarkably consistent. I'll unsleeve 10 at a time and give them 2 weeks acclimation time, notch cut it and light up. Some white pepper up front, then the big broad flavor profile starts within the first half inch: leather cedar and spice dance on the palate in uniform fashion. Last one inch gets a little hot and strength increases.
Best $4 stick I know of. Thanks CI

JS of LEVITTOWN, NY

Great smoke!

LC of Rio Rancho, NM

This is my first review and I am relatively new to cigars in general. I was gifted a 6-pack of the petit bully and so far have smoked 3. The first was decent, however the flavor of these is a bit basic. The second was very difficult to draw. The third was not only difficult to draw, but began falling apart halfway through. Here's to hoping the last 3 are more like the first one. Either way, while they aren't terrible, I will not be buying these in the future.

JS of Dundalk, MD

Nice blend of flavor and smooth.

EW of Virginia Beach, VA

Bought the Romeos. Pretty damn good. Smokes like their normal cigars but the smaller size is perfect for when I'm pressed for time.

CB of Canal Winchester, OH

Great smoke! Now if they could just keep them in stock.

NB of Lubbock, TX

The only surprising thing about the Romeo Y Julieta 1875 Petít Bully is that it's taken me so long to try one. This is a great little cigar! A brick of 30 just came in this afternoon (prompt as always from C.I.) and I smoked one straight away. I'm pleased to report that these babies arrived perfectly humidified and rarin' to go, with a razor-sharp burn, effortless draw, and a fine, pale-grey column of ash that held on for a good inch or more. It tasted to me like a tiny version of the Cedro Deluxe No. 2, every bit as aromatic, but with noticeably more pepper to it (which I happen to like— I know it ain't for everyone). I will be sticking with these.

NI of Jefferson, LA

Great cigar. One of my favorites. I highly recommend it.

IQ of Danbur, CT

I 1st smoked an 1875 over 20 years ago. Funny, but back then, many considered it a bold & full flavored blend. I will say, that for a medium-bodied Dominican filler & binder, topped with an Indonesian wrapper, the Bully robusto delivers a fair amount of spice, in a smooth & creamy manner. That was the heyday of Dominican puros. A generation later, Nicaraguan & Honduran manufacturers, blenders & growers have taken those Cuban seed strains that landed 1st in the DR, to majestic levels of strength, flavor & full bodied spiciness. So our, or at least my, affections moved to the wares of geniuses like AJ, Rocky, Drew, Felipe, Ramon, Don & Alan, to name a few. However, this classic shaped rothchilde is as unwavering today, as it was all those years ago. Back then, it rotated with Punch, Camacho, Sancho Panza & Hoyo de Monterrey. Now, it is a memory overtaken by Diesel, Man-O-War, Core, Presado, Tempus & Genesis. Today, I am smoking one I have had in storage for over a year. It's quite good, too. Medium bodied, smokey, leather & cedar flavors, mixed skillfully with light spice from the Far Eastern wrapper. Basically, just as I remember. Worth a look, if you are ready to move up a notch or two from mild Dominican vitolas. Consider its $4.00+ pricetag before investing. 89/100. Despite its amazing consistency, I prefer Alec Bradley's medium bodied delights like Family Blend, Black Market & the best medium three clam 'gar ever, Sancho Panza.

BB of LOVELAND, OH

This is one of my favorite cigars for the past 15-20 years!

TM of Hanford, CA

At first I really didn't think it was anything special but then as I continued to smoke it it grew on my by nub parting was such sweet sorrow it had such a spice and at the beginning it was all spice then it mellowed to a nutty cream I loved this cigar

MS of DULLES, VA

So good, Highly recommend this sampler, great price, great taste! Very enjoyable.

KP of Norwich, CT

very good cigar, first a peppery type of taste, after about 2 inches it starts getting very mello, almost a sweet taste. great with a cup of coffee or vodka and oj. I love the Churchill, smokes well over 30 minutes. this was my second order of them and was worried they would not be consistent but each was the same.

JB of richwood, WV

Excellent medium body smoke, just right size for a 30 minute break, especially like the packaging, very handy when on the road.

JW of CARROLL, IA

Robusto size aged several months: Very easy to light. Excellent construction, draw and burn. Flawless white ash and above average smoke output with a pleasant aroma. Creamy and silky on palate but dissipates quickly. Mild to medium strength with medium flavor intensity. Sweet cedar wood, sweet caramel and hints of spices. No pepper or bite. A mellow flavored experience without complexity and a medium length finish after each draw.

PC of LEXINGTON, SC

I have been purchasing cigars from CI for many of years. My favorite stick is the RY Bully. I just wish that CI could offer a special deal for their Loyal customers.
Blade : Balto. MD.

TS of BALTIMORE, MD

I cant say more that what has been said. A great smooth medium bodied stick. A GREAT relaxing smoke. From start to finish one of the best in my Humi which is why I ordered more at one of the best prices your find them at. This is a cigar I can say IS for everyone.

Sadly, I would like to smoke this cigar, but it is not offered in a 60 or larger ring size. If it ain't a sixty then it doesn't go into my humi.

JF of DEL RIO, TX

As a loyal fan of the Partagas Black Label, the only cigar I've never found an equal to, the 1875 was the first cigar to challenge my loyalty. Compared to the richness of the Partagas Black Label, a "rich Starbucks Coffee", the 1875 could be best compared to a "Sweet Tea" level of aroma. The aroma is much lighter, sweeter, creamy aroma with "less sting" than the Black Label but equal, if not more satisfaction. As of this writing, the 1875 ranks #1 with me from among hundreds of cigars in regards to claiming the prize of the most well balanced, pleasurable, creamy, "sweet tea" level of aroma.

CA of BEVERLY HILLS, CA

Someone told me with my likes in cigars, I should try a R y J. Just got off of an 1875 Bully. Wow. Was that great! And quite affordable. A local shop had an open box and it said wrapper, Sumatra, filler and binder, Dominican. That's all it said, but it told me what I liked. I'll be ordering more. So many cigars, so little time...

KG of Belgrade, ME

Great 'gar. Just what I expected... Thanks

NF of McKinney, TX

I really enjoyed the 1875...Very good cigar especially when paired with a good beer. I particularly like it with the Sam Adams Summer line especially the porch Rocker beer. Try it...you won't be disappointed. A great afternoon cigar!

JP of COVINA, CA

I may be all wet, no pun intended, but the problems claimed by some of the reviewers sound like cigars that are too moist. Hard draw, uneven burn, bad taste, etc. all sound like damp sticks. I keep my humidor between 65 and 69 per cent humidity. Never had a problem with these are any others that I can think of.

WM of Lorena, TX

An old friend revisited. The Bully is a very good robusto, with consistent flavor, flawless construction & a medium bodied profile. Like so many other cigar-heads, my taste has developed to a point where I appreciated more robust blends. That being said, the 1875 line still delivers a creamy base & light spice, dominated by notes of oak & an almost sweet vanilla flavor. Mild & medium bodied cigar smokers should find this blend to their liking. There is enough going on to satisfy even those who prefer more full bodied blends. I think the most impressive aspect of this particular cigar is the amazing consistency it has displayed over the years. Give one a try & see if you agree.

You can never go wrong with a Romeo, great staple cigar co., would enjoy a Romeo anytime of the day, these are always good, very pleasant cigar to smoke in any kind of weather. enjoy these, especially when on sale if you can find them.

MV of BRADENTON, FL

Great smoke, will recommend to the friends

HH of Fort Drum, NY

I ordered these 1875's in a herf-a-dor combo package that came with 10 sticks. It was my first R & J. The burn was good, the draw was good, but the taste was not. Closest I can describe is burning horse hockey. I have read good things about R&J and was looking forward to a great smoke. Now I don't care to ever have another one.

WP of Cass City, MI

After reading the reviews of others, I highly suspect that I received a bad 1875 in the sampler I had ordered. Not only did the smoke burn your palate as it entered your mouth. The taste was that of a bunch of weeds rolled into a cigar, the weeds would probably have been better. It was so tight that no amount of humidor time would help, and who ever said that any cigar can be rescued with time in a humi was wrong. There are around 5 no draw cigars in my well maintained humidor, that have been resting for more than a year. Even so, the draw is no differnt than the stopped up stick I first received. I'm now left not knowing which way to go, since I would like to try the 1875. After reading another review of the cigar being tight, I'm wondering if this is something that is always a problem with a few in every box. There is not a month goes by that I don't make an order from CI. Because of this, I have had the chance to try cigars of all levels. While we are suppose to except that not every cigar in the box will smoke well. I'm starting to loose my exception of this rule, and send each bad one back. It may not be the fault of CI, but they are were I buy all of my cigars from. Should we really have to expect a box of cigars we have purchased at any cost level, have ones that can't be smoked included? Yes, we can send back the box in so many days if we haven't smoked so many. However, what about all the ones that do smoke well and you won't to keep? The only way to bring pressure on the cigar makers, is if every bad cigar we receive is sent back for a refund of the amount each cigar would cost. The CI Summer Vacation Mega Sampler is the best that has come along in awhile. There was a cigar in it that looked like a Romeo y Julieta 1875, but I can't tell you how it smoked since it wouldn't.

DM of Taylor, MI

I am not one to deviate from the brand that I love. I decided once to purchase a Romeo y Julieta Churchill. All I can say is wow. It has everything that I love, perfect draw, creamy and smooth flavor, and an even burn. I have a habit of chewing on the cigar after its out and down to the end, and I can tell you, this cigar, more than lives up to the brand's reputation. Quite possibly one of the best cigars I have ever had! Do yourself a favor and get one, you will end up hooked just as I am.

BL of St. Louis, MO

Liked the stick but tasted like a cheap black and mild but with better after taste beautiful ash but with hardly any smoke and tight draw

JY of Powell, TN

This is just a great, smooth tasting cigar(1875). I always seem to come back to these after trying other brands. Their construction is consistant, no harsh or bitter taste, reasonably priced and they burn evenly. Try some, you won't regret it.

TS of Corona, CA

While typing this, I'm puffing the "Bully" at the same time. By far a great smoke, construction is firm, tight almost invisible seams. Double capped and the aroma pre-lit is a nice woodsy, tobacco scent. Minimal amount of smoke, good draw with a bit of resistance and a nice even burn. Since I'm still a novice in identifying the nuances, I can catch some coffee, and chocolate in there. Smoke is a bit airy, but still delivers flavor. It's a smooth medium body that went down to a mild to medium at the last half. The finish is not too long and leaves a bit of pepper taste at the back of my mouth. It's not harsh, but not as peppery as the Don Lino Africa that I have. All in all it's a great stick and having it rest in the humi will definitely make it a better smoke. I'm satisfied with the purhase and I hope the rest of the stick will be consistent. A great buy!

JE of El Cerrito, CA

This is a pleasant cigar. Slightly woodsy flavour with a similar aroma. Excellent draw and an even burn.

MM of Leesburg, VA

Nothing but a Cuban IS a Cuban, but having said that, the R y J Churchill I'm working on right now comes mighty close. Perfect burn, splotchy grey ash and clouds of fragrant smoke all contribute to a delightful afternoon's relaxation.
Too early in the day for a snifter of anything, but a sweet, hot cup of tea is a lovely accompaniment as a nasty winter seems finally to be heading for the door.
By my lights, CI's pricing on these old-school gems is a real draw, almost as easy as the draw of my cigar.
I like to look around at other brands and shapes, but I'm strongly tempted to make my next purchase another RyJ size, just to see if the whole marque is this wonderful.

RW of Victor, WV

I feel an update from my previous review is in order for this cigar. My first review was written after smoking the first one which I was well pleased. However, each of the other 4 in the 5 pack I purchased had to be disgarded due to the amount of draw it took to get the smoke in my mouth. It was if half the cigar was stopped up an I could only inhale a small hole. My review is now more in line with what the others had to say. I find it difficult to understand how one smoked really well, while the others were unsmokeable.

DM of Taylor, MI

So far I have smoked several different brands looking for the cigar that best duplicated the Cuban Cohiba VI. By far, this Romeo y Julieta Churchill is as close as I've smoked to the real Cuban. This is a cigar that burned evenly, stayed lit, and I kept smoking it until I couldn't hold it any longer. I'm not sure what happen with those that wrote poor reviews, maybe they received a bad lot. I can see myself enjoying many more of these cigars in the days to come.

DM of Taylor, MI

I received a box of Bullys. I'm disappointed on their draw. But still satisfying. They should stamp a number on the box to identified each roller. So when I and others complain they know which roller making that mistake. That would help the customers have a good cigar. Cigars aren't cheap and one good cigar takes away my current stress for that moment. Now my R&J draws better after two inches. Everybody knows R&J are great. Thanks CI for having cigars at reasonable price.

FD of Gardena, CA

So far I have been quite disappointed. I just bought a box of 25 bully's and out of the first 5 smoked they have been all over the road. Uneven burn that required multiple lighting to one that wouldn't draw. I hope this is a fluke and not the result of some sort of change at the factory as they have always been an enjoyable staple cigar in my humidor. 20 to go with high hopes.

CL of Mount Prospect, IL

The Bully is the first cigar I have ever smoked all those many years ago and I keep coming back to it. Always a pleasure to burn.

JF of Astoria, NY

WOW!!! AFTER A LONG DAY AND A SUCCESFULL MISSION I JUST NOW FINISHED (Romeo y Julieta) ENJOYING THE GREATEST TEASED EVER I RECOMMEND IT 100% TO EVERY ONE WHOS IN TO SMOOTH CIGARS I WILL DEFINATELY WILL BE BUYING MORE OF THEM TO FILL UP MY HUMI MY NEW LOVE I FEEL SORRY FOR MY GIRLFRIEND...LOL.....THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPACE IN MY HUMI...THANK YOU CI FOR PROVIDING ME WITH THESE ASTONISHING CIGARS...

MT of middle east resort, AP

I had my first Romeo y Julieta last night #2. Wow this by far is the best smoke so far. I have only been smoking cigs for a few months and have been dabbling with different brands. I walk into the smoke shop and picked one up. It wasn't till the next night when i lit this one up and was going to save it for later, but my wife said " i do think if you like it, they do sell more". So as somme as it was lit and smoking well i then decided this was the one for me.

MW of lusby, MD

I got a 10-pack of the Bullys (Romeo y Julieta) from the Joe Cigar daily special, and I have to say that this is the BEST Robusto that I have ever smoked. I can usually burn one of this size in about 30 minutes, but this one is a solid hour of pure heaven. Slow, cool, and tasty. Need I say more ?

WF of Memphis, TN

Bought a couple of samplers to test the waters as a newby cigar smoker. The RyJ cedro #2 (Romeo y Julieta) is my hands down favorite. I have a box of em' heading my direction by the end of this week! Great construction, flavor, burn. May be a little mild for some of the HERFs out there, but it suits me right down to the ground. And best of all...its not too expensive. Doesn't get much better than that.

JL of Lampasas, TX

Had my first Romeo y Julieta Cardo Delux #2 last night while relaxing outside after a long day. This has to be one of the best evening smokes I have ever had. I love Macanudo and Magellan's but this one is right at the top of my new list of great smokes.

GG of Westford, MA

Had my first one (Romeo y Julieta) today. One hell of a smoke. I had it over an hour and a half ago and I'm still coming off the head rush.

AS of Setauket, NY

What a wonderfully smooth, great tasting cigar (Romeo y Julieta)! I have bought a lot of these over time, and recently found CI. At about 1/2 the price of other retailers, I can tell you, I will never buy anywhere else!

by Steve R

Romeo y Julieta was one of the first cigars I've ever tried. Come to think of it, I believe it was numero uno. I was in Cancun - don't worry, I brought my own smokes - and had just a few too many Coronas, so my memory is a little hazy. Regardless, had I not enjoyed my first few cigars, I wouldn't have become the crazed cigar lunatic I am today. Therefore, I do give thanks to RyJ for beginning my allegience to the world of handmade cigars. It was the Bully, a 5"x50 robusto the represents the brand's top-seller.

Today, I decided to light up a Belicoso from the traditional 1875 blend of Romeo y Julieta. Aside from a few soft spots throughout the tapering barrel of the cigar, it appears to be made very well. The chestnut-colored Indonesian wrapper offers a smooth, silky sheen, but seems dry and 'hairy' to the touch. The pre-light aroma is short, and there is virtually no pre-light flavor. The 54-ring took some effort to light, but I’m off and puffing, filling the office with heavy clouds of light grey smoke. The straightforward flavor is toasty, with a distinct woody note and creamy texture. The finish is dry and lingers for about 10 seconds after each puff. Mild to medium-bodied, the Dominican fillers maintain a character that’s smooth and unobtrusive, without becoming harsh or overwhelming at any point.

Romeo y Julieta is a fantastic brand, one which everyone should try at least once. It’s well-made, super consistent and carries a solid reputation for top-notch cigars. However, over time, my palate has grown more complex, developing into a high maintenance menace that demands more with each cigar it consumes. While it was nice to revisit a cigar that introduced me to this exciting hobby of ours, I find myself looking for more interesting cigars, ones layered with flavors that change throughout the burn, growing more intense towards a satisfying finish.
